Solution
Radius of cylinder = 12 cm
Height of cylinder = 6.75 cm
Volume of water = πr2h = π x 12 x 12 x 6.75 cm3
Let the radius of iron sphere piece = R cm.
∵ Volume of sphere = volume of water
`4/3` πR3 = π x 12 x 12 x 6.75
R3 = `(π xx 12 xx 12 xx 6.75 xx 3)/(4π)`
R3 = 729
R = `root(3)(729)` = 9 cm.
Hence radius of sphere piece = 9 cm.
